Liquefied petroleum gas
Operative Text
Containers shall be designed, stored and located so as not to be a hazard to the premises served or to the surrounding property.
Section 116-25 of Thomaston's Code of Ordinances establishes that liquefied petroleum gas containers must be designed, stored, and positioned in a way that does not create a hazard to the property they serve or to neighboring properties. The rule applies to the physical characteristics of the containers as well as where and how they are kept. It sets a general safety standard rather than specifying exact distances or technical specifications.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 116-25, compliant operators generally ensure that any LP gas containers on their properties meet recognized safety design standards and are placed in locations that minimize risk to the served premises and adjacent properties. This typically involves reviewing container placement during installation and after any changes to the property layout. Landlords managing properties with LP gas systems often document their storage arrangements to demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
